Al ion went out into the jungle one day
swaggering - for he was a lion
tiger and looked at tiger & roared
“Second rate, second class tiger, who is king of the jungle?
why you are mighty lion.
you are king of the jungle
strutted up to a bear
“hey bear, you hibbernating bear.
who is king of the jungle?
why you are mr lion.
Then the lion went down to the pond and saw a bull elephant
roared and said “hey fat elephant who is king of the jungle
elephant looked at him
stomped lions little paw with his big foot
picked him up with trunk & dunked him in the water
pulled him out and flung him against a tree
The lion slid down to the base of the tree and said
“look here, elephant.
you don’t have to get so mad just because you didn’t know the right answer”
The lion had a problem with pride
We are looking in the book of Daniel again today
you can’t please God if your proud
God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble
Did you know that when the Lord talks about the sins that He hates, that pride is the first on His list
Pride: The spirit that makes one overestimate himself and underestimate others
pride:
independent spirit
I can do things on my own
When God says that He hates pride, pride is not so much an action, it’s an ATTITUDE
Today we will look in Daniel chapter 4 at King Nebuchadnezzar
a man who was stuffed full of himself
learn what happens when we walk in pride
learn to be cautious of pride
guard up
Bible says that Pride goes before destruction and a haughty spirit before stumbling
Backstory:
Nebuchadnezzar is king of Babylon 605-562 BC
great king in terms of power, splendor, & wealth
Babylon had the Hanging Gardens of Babylon - one of the seven wonders of the world
ALSO- great wall in babylon - so 2 of 7
He built them both!
In chapter 2 dream no one could interpret
wouldn’t tell them the dream
God shown it to Daniel after Daniel prayed
1st dream of Neb big statue
head made of gold
Daniel told him it was about kings and kingdoms
about your kingdom & ones to come
you are the head of gold
Neb loved that - head of gold
So in chapter 3 Neb builds a statue 90.9
of gold -
everyone had to worship but Shadrach, Meshach, & Abednego wouldn’t
God delivered them from fiery fernace
Chapter 4- Neb has another dream
calls in his brightest interpreters and tells them the dream
None of the other magicians or interpretors knew the dream
but Daniel got in tune with God and God revealed it to him
this would be a tough one to interpret
WOW! That’s what happened to King Neb
He ends chapter 4 by saying that God is able to humble those who walk in pride
3 lessons on pride
Pride is a problem for everyone
No one is immune to pride
start of all sin
caused lucifer to become satan
it’s obvious on some
very obvious
you can be around someone for a few minutes and see it all over them
that was Neb
somewhere before building a golden statue of self crossed a line
all that and a bag of chips
cat’s pajamas
bee’s knees
wanted everyone to know he was great
Here is the kicker:
Was Neb a great king?
YES- dan told him in chapter 2
your a great king and leader
he was the most powerful man in the world during that time
but where did all of that greatness come from?
God
but Neb forgot
Neb - all that came from God
but he thought it was all from himself
Difference between a dog and a cat

master pets
cat yawns & stretches
this master worships me - I must be a god
some people have obvious pride

Some don’t have obvious pride
they have hidden pride
